facts about car insurance policies in wisconsin

Car insurers in Wisconsin are allowed to use credit reports as a rating factor.

If a company denies coverage based on your credit, you have the right to request a free copy of the report they viewed to verify the information it contains. The insurer will give you the address and phone number of the credit agency where you can obtain the report.

Other factors that insurers often take into consideration when determining your car insurance rate include:

Prior insurance history

Year, make, and model of your car

Age, gender, and marital status

Driving record and claims history

ZIP Code where your car is parked

Coverages, limits, and deductibles you choose

Penalty for not having the required coverage

Failure to show proof after accidents or at traffic stops can result in a fine of $10. Driving a car that's altogether uninsured can lead to a fine up to $500.

Electronic proof of insurance in Wisconsin

Just another reason for Wisconsin drivers to choose Esurance, our innovative mobile app provides 24/7 access to car insurance ID cards, policy documents, and more. Which is pretty cool, since Badger State law allows drivers to pull up proof of insurance on their smartphones if they ever get pulled over.

Determining fault after car accidents

Wisconsin is a tort-based state that uses the comparative negligence system. This means that drivers can sue for post-accident damages if another motorist was more than 50 percent at-fault for the incident. The amount you can recover is partially based on your own percentage of fault.

Trends that can affect car insurance rates in Wisconsin
